This article will walk you through the Export of Now Playing data from Simian version 2 to your Futuri Transmitter.

Before beginning, you will need to assign your Static IP address. Click here for instructions on how to assign a static IP address to your transmitter.

Step 1 - Pause anything currently playing, go to "Tools" > "Program Options" and navigate to the "Options Dialog".

Step 2 - Select the "Metadata" tab and complete the ...

Step 3 - Check "Metadata 1" or "Metadata 2", if "Metadata 1" is already in use.

You will need an XML template, which may be obtained by downloading the attached file appropriate for your Simian version. Then, select the ... button and locate the template.
Enter the Static IP address of the streaming transmitter in the IP address field.
Set the port number to 12345.
Select the UDP radio button option at the far right.
Confirm that the "Used Exclude Categories is not checked.
Click "OK" to save the options.

Step 4 - It is recommended that you set up custom categories as outlined on pages 49-51 of this Simian Pro Manual. Doing so will provide a more robust and enhanced user experience in POST. Additional categories allow the system to properly segment your audio data making POST faster and easier for you to use.
